zeewool Pillar of the Community 3660 Posts	Posted 01/09/2010 09:07 am Farouk's collection was quite extensive as a type set of both coins and currency. Although most specimens were in UNC condition, the currency was set into thick plastic slabs that sealed the notes permanently. Any attempt at removal would result in ruining the note. Some of it sold on ebay a few years back at discounted prices. I do not know of the encapsulation method of the coins. Hopefully they were not set into thick polymer cubes as well.

The price on these is going up, so I think I better send you my FR-02 1913 Liberty nickel and have you restore it! (it's the sixth one that no one knows about, shhh...)

weerdsteev Pillar of the Community United States 1291 Posts	Posted 01/09/2010 3:37 pm Haha! Yep! Send it on over! I'm currently selling an 1886 on the Bay that I restored so I have definitely been practicing! By the way, if this 1913 once belonged to King Farouk, does the winner have to worry about a mummy stalking him? Edited by weerdsteev 01/09/2010 3:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
